Look Me In The Eyes Lyrics

Our expectations started out much smaller, but you just kept upping the ante

What if I don't want to be president

It's too late for that. You're going to do it

Oh, really

Have you decided my position on capital gains tax cuts

What are my foreign policy objectives

That doesn't matter

What does matter is you'll be the only person in that position

Who will ever give a crap about people like us

We've been getting the short end of the stick for thousands of years

And I, for one, am sick of it

Now you are going to be president, mister, and that's the end of it

Did it ever occur to you that I could have taken this job

Gotten really rich, and then bought my way into being president

Of course it did. We decided against it

What!

Because then you wouldn't be a good president

You wouldn't have suffered enough

I've been suffering all my life

I'm sorry. It's not enough

You know what it's like to be poor, and you know what it's like to work hard

Now you're going to learn what it's like to sweep floors and bust your ass

And accomplish twice as much as all the kids around you

And it won't mean anything because they will still look down on you

Gone have to

I told you once shit you don't even know

I shared my heart with you but it would never really grow

I held so much shit in but you would never really know

I held so much shit back so you could maybe find some hope

I keep it to my chest and hold it, never let em close

I often feel this way cause no one ever sees his soul

If you know you know, fuck maybe that's just the life I chose

I took some dubs in life, I always keep a heavy load

Heaven knows you're on my mind, know I'm here like every time

I got no one else to call, I can't talk just like a mime

It's okay just never mind, guess I'll just internalize

Cut em down to size with seven knives, never pick a side

Doing double time, I'm feeling good, you'll never get em now

Someone come and kill em, push em down, now his feelings out

It's okay for you to make a play, is it really now

No parade for anyone until we save Priscilla's son

It's okay for anyone to act the way that they want

When it comes to me I always feel I gotta put fronts up

I'm not no chump dumb fuck, y'all gotta do something

I gotta chase someone, y'all niggas ain't on shit

I hear the same old shit, just say my name know I'm lit

They wanna train like this, it takes a day long list

I got no weight on my chest

I had to tell you that I'm going for this shit, I'm the best

I got a quarter in the corner of the coroner's desk

I'll lift a city when I'm sore, Lord I'm sort of the best

That's word to my kents, got foot on they heads, got foot on they necks

Nobody else is coming up next, except for YRN

That's why they can't pretend to be the biggest one

To ever step on the fence and push it down to it's ends

Cause listen, I'm at my wits end, I'm feeling Christian

I just be talking to god, sometimes ask why I don't fit in

I got nobody in my corner that can fill a wish list

But I got some nobody got and I've been saving this shit

I'm the shit, you had to come and hear this shit right from me

It's a mix, can't get no help from a wish

This brother's dead don't miss, it's not no regular trips

I didn't hear what he said, but I was sensing a diss

No one's touching him, quit

And you will want so much for them to like you, and they just won't

And it'll break your heart, and that'll make your heart bigger

And open your eyes, and finally you will realize

That there's more to life than proving you're the smartest person in the world

I'm sorry Malcolm, but you don't get the easy path

You don't get to just have fun and be rich and live the life of luxury

This is unbelievable, you actually expect me to be president

No, no, I'm sorry, you expect me to be one of the greatest presidents

In the history of the United States

You look me in the eye, and you tell me you can't do it
